It's a variation on my go-to "kitchen sink" recipe using italian sausage, parmesan and bread crumbs and can be baked in the oven or on the grill in the summer! This uses mexican chorizo for a smoky and spicy kick! —Sharon Neri

Slice zucchini lengthwise in half. Scoop out seeds with spoon, leaving about 1/4-1/2 inch of flesh. Turn onto paper towels, cut side down while preparing filling.

Mix remaining ingredients except oil in a medium size bowl.
-
Stuff into zucchini firmly. Place on greased (or foil-lined) baking sheet. Drizzle with oil.
